I'm TRULY HONORED to have been interviewed by Amadeus Magazine in October. They interviewed me about my life as a photographer, paired with kinder words from Alex than I was ever prepared to handle. I hope my word vomit responses are anywhere near as inspiring as my photos maybe can be.
Thank you, from my whole heart. ❤️

DECEMBER 14 2016
Whether or not this was a chilly December evening, I'll never fully remember, as I quickly basked in the warmth of the chaos of the family-style-reunion that blossomed as Together Pangea (LA) and Twin Peaks (Chicago) rolled into Nashville's Exit-In that afternoon. Bands, photographers, and friends alike, all together in one place - including members of White Reaper, NE-HI, Cage the Elephant, Daddy Issues, and Chrome Pony, and photographers CJ Harvey, Kelsey Reckling, Jesse Fox, (and myself!), all present, documenting throughout the night. One truly never to be forgotten.

I hopped on Daddy Issues' end-of-summer tour to kick off the month of August for a total whirlwind of a week
LOUISVILLE -> CINCINNATI -> INDIANAPOLIS -> CHICAGO -> ST LOUIS
five nights of trouble, greeting the sunrise each morning
Our first stop, Louisville, was a mess of trouble - cymbals breaking, cigarettes, saunas, and swimming pools, nearing arrest by the Louisville Police Department - where Jenna's boots are being held hostage as evidence, all with troublemakers THE TOMMYS, aka the White Reaper boys. Cincinnati filled us with tacos, beers, and a bill stacked with babe bands. We drowned ourselves in chili n' cheese, slept with the kitties, and woke to the freshest coffees. We held zero expectations for Indianapolis, until we found 20+ Nashville friends across the street at the HiFi, Andrew Combs and the Blank Range boys, ending with bonfires and a 3am pizza party. Come morning, we were Chicago bound, all inclusive with Chicago traffic, Chicago Music Exchange, and the Chicago Diner. A packed room and stacked bill of The Morons, Daddy Issues, Pink Torpedo, and Flesh Panthers at Cole's - the least divey-dive bar compared to Nashville dives (we hang out in trailers!). Late night slumber, early morning brunches, never enough time. I closed out my run of tour in St Louis, with the sweetest girls gifting Daddy Issues shirts, wigs, and boxes full of pastries. Homeward bound to Nashville by 1am, driving into the dawn, greeting sunrise once again.
GOT ME FEELIN' SOME TYPE O' WAY
Made my way to Austin for SXSW this year working with Panache Booking, Infinity Cat Recordings, and touring managing Daddy Issues, and made more friendships than I could have dreamed, including the incredible dudes at Original Fuzz. Stoked to share my photos from the week as a part of the first issue of The Fuzz Guide.
